Presentation: "Introduction: Agility on the Edge"

Time: Monday 10:30 - 10:45

Location: Conference Hall 2

Abstract: Applying agile methods in a defined environment can sometimes already be challenging. But this is even more so when trying to follow an agile approach in a project that is out of character. This year we want share experiences from people who have applied agility when developing for example a life-critical system, an embedded or a data warehousing application. Dealing with challenges like these requires thorough adaptation of the process, which is the focal point of retrospectives.
